[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In middle school, they all tell each other everything and it seems to be no big deal. My kid knows who has had inpatient psych treatment, who has dyslexia, autism, anxiety, ADHD, etc. They all know who is in therapy and it is no big deal. No one seems to care about the diagnosis, but they do care about how people actually behave.[/quote] This tracks with what we saw. But middle schoolers with dyslexia, autism, anxiety, ADHD, etc. are more likely to have certain behaviors like showing up late, dropping or losing their materials, blurting out in class, acting avoidant, making pedantic comments, interrupting, over sharing, failing to speak with confidence, acting defensive, telling jokes that fall flat, etc. It was in middle school that our kid learned to say the phrase "I'm so SpEd". I think they don't see the behaviors and the diagnoses as totally separate. [/quote]
